Range Advice
Important notice: Due to recent releases, you may find some of the contents of this online manual, including the video tutorials, to be outdated. Specifically, it's important to note that the current Mac version of PokerSnowie does not yet contain all the features, since the Hands Import and Hand Range are not yet implemented. However, our team is working on it. We are also currently in the process of updating these materials. In the meantime, you can get a more accurate description of PokerSnowie's features on the various platforms by visiting the Downloads page and try out the software.
The Range Advice feature calculates all hands the player might hold given the circumstances of the game. The information includes folding, checking/calling and betting/raising ranges. This feature is only available for the player to act.
You can access the Range advice table, when it's the player's turn to act, by clicking on the grid icon next to the player cards.
The table displays the hole card combinations in a similar manner to the Preflop advice table. Selecting one of the ranges provides distribution information about the hand type and details for all hands that comprise the corresponding range.
You can filter the displayed ranges by the possible actions, this is achieved by selecting fold, call, or raise. By default, ‘All Moves’ are displayed.
PokerSnowie has four different ranges for the bet sizes: 1/4 pot, 1/2 pot, pot and 2 pot. By default, PokerSnowie selects the bet size it considers best, this is highlighted in bold, however it can be switched manually to see ranges for alternative bet sizes.
It is also possible to see how PokerSnowie would play hands that are not in its hand range anymore. Clicking 'Show all hole cards' provides the evaluations for all hole cards, independent of the hand range.
Please note that it can happen that no hands are found. That means that PokerSnowie would not have played the same way as the player did with any hand.
